A Staffordshire bull terrier found wounded in Glasgow may have been a victim of dog fighting, say the Scottish SPCA.

The animal welfare charity is appealing for information on the poorly male dog, who was discovered near Langlands Road in Govan by police on Friday and taken to a nearby vet. He was suffering from a puncture wound and lacerations to his neck.

Inspector Kerry Friel said: “We found out his name through his microchip but unfortunately his microchip is registered to the previous owner.
